π containers-storage-add-names π
okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual corner of the internet, where today's main character is a lil command called containers-storage-add-names β¨ pull up a chair, grab a boba, and let's get you fluent π§π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
containers-storage-add-names β Add names to a layer/image/container π·οΈπ
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
containers-storage add-names [options [...]]
layerOrImageOrContainerNameOrID
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so here's the tea β β in containers-storage, layers, images, and containers don't just have IDs. they can also have human-readable names assigned to them, which is SO much nicer than squinting at a 64-character hex string at 3am π
and the add-names command? it's literally the girl whose whole job is adding one or more names to them. that's it. that's the vibe. iconic π
π OPTIONS π
-n|--namename β specifies a name to add to the layer, image, or container. β οΈ and listen, this part matters: if the name you're specifying is already used by another layer, image, or container, it gets removed from that other layer, image, or container. so it's not a "both of y'all can share" situation, it's a "name says bye and moves in with the new one" situation π no cap, plan accordingly.
π EXAMPLE π
here's how it looks in the wild, bestie π:
containers-storage add-names \
-n my-awesome-container \
-n my-for-realsies-awesome-container \
